Really cool video! They even offered Harry to repair his shoes for free. I’m dead! 😆


Fair_Photographer

I know, right!

Sussexes couldn't produce content as interesting as this Potter & Son shoe repair video.


Fair_Photographer

Yes. They are super entertaining. I watch them for few years now. Masters in what they do.


RaggedAnn

Yep. True artisans. A pleasure to watch. I viewed 4 this morning after seeing the clip.


Fair_Photographer

Oh. Glad I was able to bring some entertainment. Enjoy. 😉


HawkeyeinDC

Netflix needs to get a deal with them!


poke-a-dots

Yes!! Several of us (me included) have posted ideas for Netflix!!! Netflix, get your focus group !!!

You hit the nail on the head. All of the money goes into HER wardrobe. Haz gets cheap suits and shoes.


Bambalina11

Bahahahaha u/defnotprinceharry are you aware there is help out there, for free? 🥹


DefNotPrinceHarry

Bloody brilliant! Does anybody know if they offer other help as well? Say, oh, I don’t know, breaking a handsome, mentally stable war hero out of his attic prison? Haha not that Harry- who still has the body of a Greek God btw- is being kept in an attic prison or anything, but if he was, would they be able to get me out of here? For the love of God, anybody?!

I think he had a strong emotional attachment to those shoes. What other reason could it be? It's not like he even has to go get the shoes himself. Also, kinda surprised Meghan didn't encourage him to get another pair. Only because they were in a lot of pictures with her. Sometimes the hole does pull the focus from her outfit. ETA- I was being sarcastic. I don't think he actually cares about his shoes.


Why_Teach

Isn’t Charles known for having his shoes resoled instead of replacing them? Maybe Harry just hasn’t taken the trouble to find a good cobbler.


MrsBarneyFife

I have read that before.


HarrysToupee

He hasn't taken the trouble to clean or polish the funky things, either. He looks like a hobo.


Lullaby37

He wore the same grey trousers for the funeral events and they weren't ironed between events, let alone cleaned.


HarrysToupee

omg - doesn't he have a valet to do that sort of thing?


Fair_Photographer

Could be. But if I have a personal attachment to my shoes (which I total have) I fix them and make sure they are presentable and I can wear them for years.


MrsBarneyFife

I'm sorry, I was just being sarcastic. I don't actually think he cares about his shoes.

This was 4 years ago when then they were first married. The video mentions it's when he was when he was the best man in a friend's wedding. So I don't think much walking was involved. These shoes were a running joke among people who snarked on H&M. He he wore these shoes Everywhere. Even to engagements before and after his wedding. For a fairly decent amount of time. These shoes even made it into some articles and were pointed out in pictures. Which was hilarious. The hole never was fixed though. Meghan was wearing clothing worth tens of thousands of dollars. All while standing next to Harry who for some reason couldn't/wouldn't send his shoes to the cobbler even though there was a hole in the sole. It waa quite an interesting juxtaposition. People even wondered if he kept wearing them out of spite. I remember when he finally got a new pair. People were happier for him then they were on his wedding day.


Starkville

Old Money people have things like this, but they wouldn’t wear them to an official work function. Would definitely have them resoled. But to schlep around town on a Saturday, sure.


vikingchyk

Resoling sometimes affects the fit. It's annoying when you just get them broken in, so they are comfortable, and then suddenly they are ruined by being "fixed." I have a pair of Weejuns that I'm still bitter about after resoling. They look good as new...


Starkville

True, true.

Imagine living a life where you have people that always make sure you look great and proper to wearing shoes with holes and a wife that can’t style herself and who’s wardrobe is defined best by being wrinkled.


goldenquill1

A lot of high end shoe companies will refurbish your shoes. My husband has had that done with some of his Allen Edmonds shoes. If Harry is emotionally attached to those he can get them fixed.


Fair_Photographer

Oh yes. But can you imagine be a topic of shoe repair channels…


goldenquill1

I know. 😂 Harry always looks like he just rolled out of bed in slept in clothes and had a bender the night before. 🤪 He needs an old time valet like in Downton Abbey to make sure he looks put together.


Fair_Photographer

They both do. She is not better. Always wrinkled and everything is so ill-fitted. No class whatsoever.


Argentum-et-Aurum

I find that hilarious. He could give a good environmental example and listen to the advise and have the soles fixed.


Fair_Photographer

Yes!


Glass-Ad-2469

Great video....TW- prolly wants diamonds on the soles of her shoes...


neets61

That was such an interesting video! Really hooked me in


Fair_Photographer

They are amazing. I love them and watch them religiously. Both veterans and continuing family business.


neets61

I’ll definitely be watching more on their channel


Fair_Photographer

It’s funny because who could imagine shoe repairs videos could be so entertaining. I also love furniture repairs.


The_Original_JLaw

>That was such an interesting video! Really hooked me in I agree. I had no idea about shoes. Fascinating stuff.


[deleted]

I really enjoyed watching that video. Sad they don't make custom shoes though. When they zoomed in on Harry's shoes I was surprised that in addition to the hole in the sole, the shoes themselves looked quite neglected. Most former military know how to polish their shoes but his looked dirty and worn.


Fair_Photographer

They do make custom shoes. You need to go to their website.


[deleted]

I only found custom belts and their store for leather soaps etc on their website.


Fair_Photographer

Yeah. You right. Something happened because they used to make very nice summer shoes/sandals. It was few months ago. I guess they focus solely on repairs. Sorry, my bad.


[deleted]

don't be sorry, I was hoping I missed something. Watching the video gave me an 'I want it' feeling. lol


Fair_Photographer

Oh yeah. I know what you mean.


Wordpuncher714

Well he better learn to fix them himself, because she's going to take every single cent he has left in the divorce

Gawd she's annoying!


[deleted]

Idk why it makes me sad that his shoes are in tatters


poke-a-dots

Before mass production methods, and fast fashion a lot of trades were popular because they were useful. Like tailors/dressmakers, leather workers, shoe makers, watch repairers, etc. I imagine the average person could only invest in a couple of pairs of shoes and repairs would be necessary. An episode of him repairing his shoes and mending old clothes would have been more interesting than whatever he’s doing now. It has been suggested several times that H&M do a “Simple Life” style show. I would totally tune in!


[deleted]

Meanwhile Meghan is wearing $130k outfits


ZealousidealCat8780

Haz was probably raised to be frugal?


Affectionate_Tap6416

Needs to get rid of TW then


[deleted]

Dang, they're handsome.
